The $4 billion settlement, reached on August 2—almost a year on from the thick of the destruction —was an agreement to resolve claims related to the Maui wildfires. It came as part of a part of a broader effort to compensate victims for the significant losses caused by the fires, including the destruction of homes and livelihoods.

The Maui Department of Fire and Public Safety (MFD) has received the long-awaited report on the Lahaina wildfires from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The Maui County Fire Department on Wednesday is expected to unveil its long-awaited report on the cause of wildfires that killed 102 people and destroyed much of Lahaina more than a year ago, county officials said.

Hawaii officials didn't prepare for dangerous fire weather in the days before flames incinerated the historic Maui town of Lahaina even though they were warned by meteorologists, the state's attorney general said Friday.

The Hawaii Supreme Court announced Wednesday it will hear arguments regarding the proposed $4 billion settlement related to the Lahaina wildfire, keeping hopes alive for a resolution in the ongoing legal battle.
